Jody Bento is currently a City of Bellingham Public Art Commissioner and recently retired from the Seattle Art Museum where she ran the SAM Rental/Sales Gallery for over 20 years. Having placed artwork in personal and professional collections all over the world, she is an ideal resource to offer insight regarding where to start collecting.
Jody will cover topics such as
- Why collect?
- Local resources for getting started
- Questions to ask artists and art professionals
Grab your favorite beverage at MARKET and get your questions answered in this freewheeling discussion that includes a tour of artwork available for rent or sale that will be hanging in MARKET.
